Introduction to The Pattern Paradigm:

​

The journey starts from the separation of mind from matter and continues through to the logical processes of perception, whereby a model of the world can be created through the logical process of pattern identification of sense-data. It continues through to the processes of interacting with the world through the logical process of decision-making in the pursuit of happiness.

The journey continues by showing how science, mathematics, language and ethics can be interfaced with this fundamental framework. It also shows how imagination, laughter and consciousness are essential and emergent facets of human life.

And all these ideas are linked into one cohesive logical and simple whole.

We also delve into the domain of meta-philosophy where one philosophical paradigm can be compared with another, using the criteria of self consistency, comprehensiveness, accuracy, logic, explicitness and simplicity.

There is a discussion on the uses of philosophy and much much more..

​

And in order to understand the simplicity and effectiveness of this approach to philosophy one has to divest one's philosophy from the superfluous and the redundant notions that have historically pervaded the domain of philosophy; things such as 'knowledge as justified true belief', 'statements have the property of truth' and so on. These things are of no more use to a good philosophy than fluffy dice hung from the rear-view mirror of a motor vehicle; they are nothing more than an irrelevant distraction.
